The Remembrance of Eight Years.

TRENTON, Todd Co., KY, Feb. %, 'S7.
GENTLEMEN had a sore on my
upper lip for eight years. Seven diff
ferent doctors attempted in vain to
heal it. One gave me small bottle
for five dollars, which was a "certain
cure" 1t is needless to say that it
did me no good. About two years
ago ] became quite uneasy, as people
thought / had cancer, and / took
a course of eighteen bottles Of S. S. S.
The result was a complete cure.
The ulcer or cancer healed beautiful
| ly, leaving scarcely a preceptible
scar. From that day / have been in
excellent health, the Specific having
thoroughly cleansed my blood, in-
creased my appetite and perfected
my digestion. In word, ! feel like
a new woman, and, best Of all, the
eight year cancer is gone entirely.
Yours sincerely,

The First Spring Lie.

George Brown, who lives up East
of the Catholic church, was reading
a mad dog story over at Nick
O'Brien's grocery the other morning.
He thereupon proceeded to disgorge
this lurid tale: Once, when he
lived in Ohio, he observed his valua-
BILE bird dog acting strangely. Secur-
ing the dog by stout chain to a
young tree, he waited to see what
would come of it. In less than two
hours the dog was raving mad. He
few at the young tree and bit it
furiously in a dozen. places. The
dog soon died. In about three weeks
the tree went mad. Its limbs waved
and thrashed about, all the bark fell
off, and the tree died in horrible
agonies.-Genesee (Ills.) News.

by platinum wire in the flame of a

the delicate incombustible network is
brought to a white heat. The flames

PLAIN, GALVANIZED G. LEAD PIPE,

How helpful and considerate are
some husbands to their wives. In
stead of going to some high-priced
furnishing store and paying a dollar
apiece for shirts, they let the dear
WHEY purchase the material and
make them herself, and when she has
grown cross-eyed and dizzy in the
labor of putting only sixteen thou
sand stitches into each garment, they
considerably bend to acknowlede
that the shirts are made nearly as good
as store-bought ones.

IT takes Hindoo twelve days to
cut an acre of grain by the primitive
method he employs. With small,
curved blade he sewers the stalks by
handfuls as he squats upon his heels.
The wages of a harvester are said to
be about thirty cents per week, with
out board. These people will have
nothing to do with the modern
threshing machine. They prefer the
"bhoosa" or tramping process. They
clean the grain by the aid of the
wind.

Deputy Collector Murphy

The New Age makes the remarkable
assertion that Deputy Collector Murphy
was committed to prison "for refusing to
disclose the secrets of mis- office" and that
he is Sustained by public judgment"
The "secrets of his Office comprised only
such facts as are required by law to be
kept open to the inspection OF the pub
lic," and the public judgment" by which
he is sustained, seems to be that of the
volators of the prohibitory law OF the
State and their sympathizing friends. All
other public Judgment is to the effect
that such officers should testify or 60 to
Jail like other people. And that is .he

may have been on account OF thelr inherent
taste that caused the people 70 looS by the
President and TO gaze at his wife, But the
Chicago papers say Mrs Cleveland Is not
b,autfful compared with some of Chica-
yo,s women. but that she may BE- called
pretty. She evidently was not very refined
in her choice of a life mate, else Grover

now accompanies him.
